Wouldn't you have setup the Raid via the Silicon Image firmware? I have a
very simular system I setup for my Slackbox. If I had installed SBS on I
would first create the Raid via firmware. Installed SBS making sure you
supplied a floppy with the SI drivers when it asks if you have a 3rd party
controller. For example on my SBS (and even XP boxes) I run the Promise Raid
cards. I let the promise card run the raid. Windows doesn't see the raid
persay, just one drive. It even says its not redundant. I just laugh because
it is. At the firmware level.
There are much smarter people here than me, but I think I'm close to a right
answer. :&)

I have a question about setting a mirrored drive in Windows SBS 2003
Standard. I recently built a server using an MSI K8D Master3-FA4R Dual
Socket
940 AMD 8131 SSI EEB 3.0 Mother board with 2 GB of RAM, Dual AMD Opteron
248
Sledgehammer Processors, and two 250gb SATA2 Hardrives. The SATA RAID
drive
is Silicon Image SiI 3114 PCI. Here is a link to the Motherboard
Manufacturer
website,
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8D_Master3-FA4R&class=spd
My problem is I can't figure out how set up a mirrored drive. I followed
the
directions in the Help and Support, by going to Disk Management and right
clicking on the empty drive, according to the help file should have an
option there for setting up the RAID but I don't. I am used to working in
Linux. Everything else is working great and really like the O.S. Exchange
was
so easy to setup as was everything else including the tape back up
schedule,
but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to mirror a drive. Please
any
help would be greatly appreciated.
